Description
Radio Essays in Bad Reception by John Mowitt explores the significance of radio as a technology and cultural phenomenon in the 20th century. From its role in disseminating philosophical ideas to its impact on phenomenology, existentialism, and cultural studies, Mowitt examines how radio came to matter, especially politically. This provocative work offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between philosophy and radio, tracing the ways in which thinkers such as Sartre, Benjamin, Lacan, Fanon, Heidegger, Adorno, and Williams engaged with this technology. By examining the intersections of radio with various intellectual traditions, Mowitt sheds new light on the enduring relevance of radio in contemporary culture. A systematic examination of the relationship between philosophy and radio, Radio Essays in Bad Reception is a thought-provoking work that will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts of critical theory, cultural studies, and media history.
